Fantasy Lineup Help: Week 8, Kupp & More
It's Week 8 of the Fantasy Football season and you're probably knee-deep in tough decisions. Do you start Cooper Kupp after a rough game? What about the up-and-coming rookie, Jahmyr Gibbs? Fear not, fantasy fam, your week 8 lineup guidance is here!
Kupp's Struggles and What It Means For Your Lineup
Cooper Kupp has been a bit of a head-scratcher this year. He's a top-tier wide receiver who's always a threat, but he hasn't exactly exploded in recent weeks. So, what's the deal?
Well, the Rams offense hasn't been setting the world on fire. They're facing a tough Panthers defense this week, who are known for their stingy secondary. It's a tough matchup, but I still believe in Kupp's ability to put up points even in a tough game.
My advice? If you're in a must-win situation, you can't afford to bench Kupp. He's too talented to sit. Just keep in mind that his performance might be more muted than you'd like.
Gibbs, the Rookie With Potential
Jahmyr Gibbs has been a breath of fresh air for the Lions offense. He's a versatile back with explosive playmaking ability. He's got that 'it' factor that makes him exciting to watch.
What to expect this week? The Lions are facing the Eagles in a game that could be a shootout. This means there could be a lot of opportunities for Gibbs to put up big numbers. He's a great flex play this week, especially if you need a high-ceiling option.
Don't Forget About...
- Jonathan Taylor: This is the week to start Taylor. The Colts have a favorable matchup against the Broncos, and Taylor has proven he can carry the offense on his back.
- DeAndre Hopkins: Even with Kyler Murray injured, Hopkins is still a top-tier receiver. The Cardinals have a good matchup against the Rams, and Hopkins is a must-start this week.
Conclusion
Week 8 of fantasy football is all about making tough calls. Use this guidance to help you make the right decisions for your team. Good luck, and remember, it's all about having fun!
Keep in mind: These are just general recommendations. Always do your own research and make the decisions that are best for your team and your league's scoring settings.
Remember, don't be afraid to flex a running back if you need to! You got this!
